How rare is a shiny starter?

Jul. 5, 2010

My friend has a shiny Turtwig and Piplup that he is willing to trade to me for a Phione and a normal Turtwig+Piplup (he’ll give me two Bidoofs for that, but that doesn’t matter.) I want to know if the only way to get a shiny starter is through an event or cheat (he doesn’t have Wi-Fi, so I’ll know if he got it by cheat.) I want it to add to my collection: Gengar, Luxray, Tentacruel, Butterfree, Gyarados (of course,) Golduck, Victreebel, Bellossom, Magikarp, Raticate, Crobat, Krickitune, and Alakazam.

Shiny starter is as rare as others, 1 in 8192, but because of that scenes before and after…I think that it’s much rarer but not as much as shiny legendary.

just save your game be fore picking and pick your stater and if its not shiny turn it off and keep trying until you get one.
